Senators vote to help students learn early. By LAURIE M. WIRTH News editor of The Signpost Because 34 percent of Weber State's student body does not meet math and English proficiency levels, ASWSU recommended Monday that a note be put on grade cards reminding students to meet these requirements. The message will also include a phone number students can call for help in knowing how to meet proficiency requirements. Requirements are based on math and English ACT scores. Students without full proficiency are required to pay $25 over and above tuition each quarter until they meet proficiency standards. More than 4,000 incoming freshmen are required to pay the developmental fee, said Tracy Tol-man, non-traditional senator and sponsor of the bill. Many of them do not know that they are paying it, she said. 'There are 700 students now who have 40-plus credits who have a 25 or better and are paying when they don't need to. This bill will help others know about tutoring," she said. According to the bill, it takes three quarters, following notification to students and assistance, to meet proficiency requirements.

According to seniors surveyed, 46 percent said the hours were adequate, and 46 percent said more hours were needed on the weekends.Initiation of the resolution stemmed from students who approached Peguese complaining of insufficient library hours on weekends.
